Well, I Really love this photograph, it was taken the day of my "mechoneo" (April, 2010) ; the "mechoneo" is a tradition of many universitys of Chile, that was organized the first week of class and it consist of the older students broke the clothes, throw disgusting trush and make denigrant games to the newer students, i'ts sounds bad but at least in my case, I enjoy it, i'ts very funny.
Probably, this photo was taken by a "mechoneador" (student who "mechonea"(do the mechoneo)), im the first of the quehue, and in this moment, the older student was putting me a onion on my hair, one of the reazons because i like this photo i'ts the smile on all of us, including me, it show that the "mechoneo" is not sooo terrible as everyone sees it, as i mentioned before, I really enjoy the mechoneo, was very funny to me, a good moment in my life and this day i meet so many classmates.
Another interesting thing in this photo is the place, we are just outside of the "Universidad de los Lagos", this building was rented by Universidad de Chile for our career one year, because the 27F earthquake breaks down our previus and original building and it was a emergency exit. We are outside for this reason, the owner of the building was another university so, the "mechoneadores" couldn't leave all dirty and stinky, so, the mechoneo was outside the building, where everyone could see us.
